I don't know if I can add anything to this, but I'd be happy to try! I had work comp, and my lawyer had already beaten them into submission, so I have no EOB's and never even saw a bill. But it...

So sorry to hear you're down!! I remember how hard that time was for me-unfortunately I didn't find this forum until I was post-op! I guess it's good news that the facet blocks didn't do anything,...

I don't know if this is happening to you, but whenever I take muscle relaxants, I have to keep taking them all day. When the pill wears off, the spasms are way worse than before taking the pill. It...

I wanna be a future mom! Wait-I already am a mom-want to be again! I can't remember what you had done, but I'm always interested in post-ADR baby stories! How was your pain? How far post-op were...

Not to burst your bubble, Chuck, but isn't distraction pain actually nerve pain? This article is about muscle pain?? I don't know. I do know that if I take my Oxy IR with coffee, it works better,...
